Seacrest, McCarthy host 'New Year's Rockin' Eve'

There was plenty of music for New Year's Eve in the annual "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest." We lost Dick Clark in April, but the tradition he started four decades ago continued in Times Square Monday night.

Clark started hosting "New Year's Rockin' Eve" in the early 1970s. This year was the first "New Year's Rockin' Eve" without him, but host Ryan Seacrest says he was there in spirit.

"I think it'll be reflective and celebratory in so many ways because he created this tradition on television and he brought us up as kids watching it," said Seacrest. "And you know, we put together a really special night. We've got some great moments of Dick throughout his career and we booked an incredible line-up of artists for people to join us and party while watching, so it'll be a mixed bag of emotions."

Jenny McCarthy also returned to Times Square to bring a little extra fun to the occasion.

"I will be mingling," said McCarthy. "I am still single again this year so I am foreseeing some kiss by someone."

Singer Taylor Swift will be one of the performers in Times Square. Swift will get the headliner position just before midnight.
